    19.5 mph top speed

    Thanks for that info. Yes I concur exactly that the people in the UK and some other European countries are very restricted on mph. I've been tracking a UK forum and all I hear about are the restricting their Motors. I do understand the active line plus is only a 50 Newton meter of torque motor...

    19.5 mph top speed

    I know exactly what you mean I'm a road bike cyclist without any assistance and I frequently have them fly past me! And mind you these are narrow bike paths along riverbeds and on the public highways. A lot of these e bikers don't even signal you with a little bell that they're coming. My...

    19.5 mph top speed

    What I'm hearing here is a lot of canned answers, I know about the laws and restrictions and warranties. I'm looking to go around that. I guess I will have to call Bosch up and ask them why an active line Plus Motor is restricted at 19.5 mph? Is this a motor restriction because of failure or is...

    19.5 mph top speed

    Hello all! I might be the uneducated ebike champion of the decade, but I thought I did my fair share of research prior to buying my Verve + 3. I realize that my top speed of 19.5 mph is rather boring and most of my club Rider friends are passing me, quite discouraging! So I am wondering how...

    Best ebike conversion kits to a stock Raleigh 3 speed.

    Most definitely the brakes on this are very weak made for the damp country sides of the UK.! I've decided I'm going to find a used 3 speed garage sale bike. Something with the derailleur and gears that can handle a mid-drive. I'm going to leave this bike intact being at a 1964 Raleigh.

    My bike is exactly the same as the one posted here. When you say TSD Z2 what are you referring to? Is that a mid-drive motor? And if that mounts I think somebody mentioned that a powerful motor like that would probably blow out that sterny rear hub

    Thanks all for your input. I have been contemplating all three of those Solutions a completely fresh rear hub is an option but I don't think my rear stays on that bike are wide enough to hold a hub motor and gears. I think I will just keep this 1964 vintage Raleigh the way it is and let other...

    Best ebike conversion kits to a stock Raleigh 3 speed.

    Sorry all I posted this and I have been busy working on the exterior painting! Yes that's a good looking Raleigh. I have attached a picture of the one I was thinking of adding some kind of a front electric Hub as the sterny shifter is three speed and works very well. So I was looking for a hub...

    Best ebike conversion kits to a stock Raleigh 3 speed.

    Hello all, as being retired now I have a little Spare Time to Ride More and just got the ebike bug. I would like to convert my vintage Raleigh 3 speed with some type of electric conversion. Preferably something that isn't too obvious. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

    Derestricting Bosch Active Line Plus

    Hello Urban pirate, I have a Trek Verve + 3 Gen 2 and it has the Bosch Active Line Plus. I would like to de-restrict the 20 mph, what chip did you use to open your bike up and does it overheat the motor and lower the torque? Thanks in advance

    Trek FX+ 2 or Verve+ 2?

    Yeah I was in the same dilemma wanting the FX + 2 as a lightweight alternative electric bike with an easily pedal. I did some deeper research on The Verve + 3 and decided to go with that one just for the sheer fact of the extended battery range and removeability of the battery pack. The Verve...

    Hello from Southern California.
